stuffed italian green peppers

Ingredients
6 Italian green peppers or regular green peppers, cored.
1/2 cup water
Lots of fresh basil chopped
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 Cup breadcrumbs or so
1/2 Cup grated romano cheese
3 egg whites
Chopped garlic (3 cloves or so)


Instructions
1. Make each green pepper hollow leaving a hole on top.
2. Mix the breadcrumbs, water, romano cheese, basil and eggs. You want a moist mixture. Adjust as necessary.
3. Spoon the mixture into each green pepper and place in a baking dish.
4. Drizzle olive oil on top of each opening.
5. Spoon some diced tomatoes on top (optional)
6. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes and check doneness.
7. Bake another 15 to 20 minutes until the breading is browned slightly and the green peppers are soft.
8. Serve warm. Easy to reheat.

TIP #1: The tomatoes are not required. But they do help as a finishing touch.

TIP #2: Do not use whole wheat bread crumbs, they make the stuffing too dense.
